About this Location

Facility Overview

The Media Studios Garage at 2255 North Ontario Street is a premier, expansive commercial parking facility located in the vibrant Media District / Airport District of Burbank, California. Serving the renowned Media Studios North corporate campus, this expansive structure features three underground, fully covered parking levels offering more than 2,800 dedicated vehicle stalls. The facility is professionally managed, exceptionally clean, and shielded from the intense Southern California sun and weather. Due to its subterranean multi-level design, standard passenger cars, midsize crossovers, sedans, compact vehicles, and standard-height SUVs navigate the facility with ease. However, drivers of lifted 4x4 trucks, commercial high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles with rooftop accessories should observe clearance height restrictions posted at the garage entrance portals (typically 6\'8\" to 7\'0\").

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, enter the garage via North Ontario Street and have your digital parking pass or payment method ready at the entry barrier. Remember to note the level, aisle letter, and nearest elevator bank where you park, as the three-level underground structure is vast. During peak office rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM), traffic along Empire Avenue and the I-5 ramps can build up, so allow a few extra minutes for exiting. If driving an oversized SUV or carrying rooftop cargo, always double-check the overhead clearance bar before descending down the entry ramp.
